The sun is shining, and its warmth invites you to indulge in life’s exquisite amusements. This collection of quixotic quests and inquiries into pop culture all feature a playful charm and deep heart. Hopeful musicians chase distant dreams in “TRAPSTARZ” (dir. Gonçalo Loureiro; 23 min), theme park goers cosplay the American West in “How the West Was Fun” (dirs. Sarah Garrahan & Sue Ding; 14 min), and UFOs lead us into the nature of belief in “Psychedelic in the Sky” (dir. Matthew Salton; 11 min). “Piñata Prayers” (dir. Daniel Larios; 24 min) brings us a filmmaker tracing the proliferation of the piñata alongside their family history, while in “My Exploding House” (dir. Liberty Smith; 17 min) a filmmaker wonders whether their childhood home might have disappeared in a burst of fireworks. (AL)
